Hi, everyone! How cute is this whale? Let me tell you....I was not interested when I first looked through the catalog. I think I was a little overwhelmed with so many new pretty things, and I was so excited to see that so many things were carrying over, and I would have to completely restock my supplies from scratch. lol Even after I settled down a little, I still didn't have him on my priority list. My upline is doing a paper share party, and this bundle is one of her upgrades. For some reason, adding him onto my paper share order was okay, but I just couldn't bring myself to add him to my own order. It was crazy, I know, but I'm glad I got him, however it had to happen.
I used the Seabed 3D embossing folder to create my own background paper. The picture above is the card I made in the video, using a sponge dauber to add ink to the side of the embossing folder with the raised images. This caused the ink to be pushed into the paper. The picture below is the one I made during my live a few weeks back. I used the same technique, but I applied the ink to the "inny" side of the embossing folder, so that the ink would be applied to the flat areas of the paper rather than the embossed parts.
I can't decide which one I like the best! Maybe the original (the second one-just above this text) is edging out the one from the video, but only by about a millimeter.
